Subject: An Overview of Duke's Music from 1927 to 1940

During the strike by the American Federation of Musicians (1942-1944), new recordings were not being produced and Victor reissued these 78s from their back catalog in 1943. The music in the box set was recorded in 1927, 1928, 1930, 1934 and 1940.

Subject: Ellington Box Set

This is a box set of four Duke Ellington 78s containing a total of eight songs released in March of 1943 on Victor Records. The recording features Ellington’s Famous Orchestra of well-known players like saxophonist Otto Hardwicke, clarinetist Barney Bigard, trumpet player Bubber Miley, and many more.

The songs on here are out of order, but the correct order can be seen on the box’s cover.
The first song “Delta Serenade” is a groove while “Dusk” is deeper, slower, more intimate. “East St. Louis Toodle-oo” is darker and a bit more bluesy at fist with a gravely trumpet sound, but the tempo swings back and forth, picking up and allowing the tune to become brighter at parts. “Mood Indigo” is, just like the title suggests, moody. With a twinkling piano, the tune is slow and gentle. “Ring Dem Bells” is loud, cheery, danceable, and full of ringing bells and swirling brass solos. And the bright “Stompy Jones” easily flows suit with its instrumental call and response. “The Mooche” and “Warm Valley” are cool and slow, and “Warm Valley’s” piercing saxophone solos end the set sweetly.

Listen to Ellington’s extra-bluesy 1931 composition “It Don’t Mean A Thing (If It Ain’t Got That Swing)” played live in 1943 here: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDQpZT3GhDg)
